Answer:

y= ¼x

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form

y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

[tex]\boxed{ slope = \frac{y _{1} - y_2 }{x_1 - x_2} }[/tex]

Slope

[tex] = \frac{5 - 3}{20 - 12} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{2}{8} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{1}{4} [/tex]

Substitute the value of the slope into the equation:

y= ¼x +c

To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates.

When x= 12, y= 3,

[tex]3 = \frac{1}{4} (12) + c[/tex]

3= 3 +c

c= 3 -3

c= 0

Thus, the equation of the line is y= ¼x.
